You may hire in at one position with promise of advancement but at any time, even with great annual job reviews...the administration can demote you, move you, change your job without warning. Very-very much a class sensitive, Good Ole' Boy and totally unethical atmosphere. Very disappointing after 20 plus years here and I'm certainly not alone but we are all job scared and afraid to speak up. Please pay attention to the reviewers on this site. Most of them are students (part time students, GTA's, GRA's, Fellows, etc.) and are not full time......long term staff. Faculty positions are totally different as well.

If you do your job as is stated on your faculty split and get exceptional reviews, it doesn’t mean anything if you are not in the good ol boy system. I suggest if you choose to be a faculty member here that you do what the senior faculty say and not what your job description says. Otherwise, you will not make it. If one senior faculty member doesn’t like your research, don’t expect to advance in your career. In addition, females in certain departments will not make what males do. I had 18 years of experience over a male colleague and was making less. Auburn is a great place to live but it isn’t the place it used to be. The administration and faculty have tried to change it into a liberal arts school and that was not what it was intended to be.

Working at the University was very pleasant. Work was fast paced due to the high amount of student in processing each quarter for classes, housing, etc.The office I worked at was for the graduate school students who typically had high amounts of paperwork to go through and so it took a while to process each one.

Hardest part of the job would be the translation barriers for international students.

I was a Chemical Engineering Lab Tech with a focus on assisting Master Program Candidates with their projects. This assistance focused on the mechanical requirements of their projects. The workplace because of the focus by the candidates on developing a means to reduce the sulfur content in coal prior to burning kept it very interesting from an environmental viewpoint.

One constant that I don't mind here is that nothing is the same each day. However, I don't have any advancement option in my current position, which is why I am looking elsewhere. I would like a career that suites my degree.

Auburn University offers people the opportunity to fulfill their passion through all the careers and studies they offer. The campus is beautiful and everyone is so nice. Every day brings new knowledge to the table. Great place to be.

Day to day routine working with students and professors of all cultures. Record handling with confidentiality.

Managed all of the office task including but not limited to payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, maintenance and correspondence with campus facilities and outside vendors. Project manager of relocation and renovations for the department.

Direct contact assisting professors and students in building courses and registering for courses. Posted grades and dealt with student issues.

My office worked as a team to better assist campus as a whole which include parents, students and professors. We pride our self in being the office to go to for answers.

auburn is a very productive place to work where the fellow employees are nice and show teamwork skills. Lunches are 30 mins from 11:30 to 12 so your best choice is to basically bring it. The supervisors are friendly but only on a occupation level. Otherwise great environment and workplace to make money.

In a week, I usually teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have learnt how to activate students' interests in economics, that is, to apply and combine theories to their daily life. The hardest part might be the differentiated learning abilities among different students. I have been enjoying the interactive learning environment with my students.

I am a graduate student who works as a research assistant. The health insurance is okay but you can only go to the clinic on campus which they always refer you to a nurse practitioner. You are only able to see the doctor if it is an emergency. Otherwise, the work environment is fine and easy to get along with most professors.

Grounds Crew (Former Employee) – School of Forestry and Wild Life Science – April 26, 2018

A typical day would maintain the site( mowing,weed eating, planting trees, and cutting down trees). Also help Grad Students with their research projects. We learned manual labor.. Management was really good at delegating jobs for us.It was a fun workplace culture, because you were out in the middle of the woods doing labor instead of sitting in an office. The hardest part of the job was probably mulching, or planting 10,000 trees in a day.The most enjoyable part of the job was exploring the research site..
